Bob … alarmists were proclaiming the end of Aussie skiing and indeed all skiing since snow would be a thing of the past and so that is the origin of posts such as these … sarcasm aimed at the chicken little obsessive-compulsive GLO-BULL warming alarmist shills.

Indeed.. given the proclamations and hysterical predictions put forth by Alarmists… well .. where are they now?

We’ve had a record cold winter in the USA… waist deep snow in Australia… Arctic Ice back to 1972 Levels despite Al Gores prediction of an Ice Free Arctic by 2014… its still frozen solid.. anyone can peep out the North Pole web cams..

Will these people EVER be held accountable for their predictions?? When !!

How can that be possible? According to the Australian BoM:
“A warmer winter likely for Australia
The chances that the winter maximum temperature outlook will exceed the median maximum temperature is greater than 60% over Australia. Chances are greater than 80% over the western, southern and eastern coastal regions, and Tasmania.”http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/ahead/archive/temperature/20140528.temp.shtml

It’s only weather. We had a warm May. That was climate. The usual suspects got quite excited.

It was quite interesting from a climate perspective actually. The SOI was just at the point where high pressure systems would cross the continent at the latitude of Sydney and get stuck in the Tasman Sea one after the other all month, like a panda in a manhole. The blocking highs kept air over the continent from moving east so it warmed more than usual despite being late Autumn. This was aided by the Antarctic jet stream which amazingly looped right up to South Island NZ, keeping them from popping out the bottom of the Tasman, while the other jet stream kept them popping out the top. (You can see the jet streams visualised here, unfortunately they don’t keep the historical images available though.)

Now the highs are moving across at the latitude of Brisbane, which is what they do in El Nino conditions. When a La Nina occurs they cross at the latitude of Hobart. Who needs a supercomputer when you have eyes and a synoptic chart?
